# Origami Kitchen Sets The Ori-Kit Uses Flat-Pack Design to Cut Cupboard Clutter By Michael Hines | Published 2017-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-orikit References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/news/ori-kit-origami-kitchen-set/) & [crowdcreate.us](https://www.crowdcreate.us/ori-kit) The Ori-Kit is being billed by its creators as "the world's first [origami kitchen set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series)." The kit is made up of four pieces: a set of measuring spoons, a funnel, a spatula and a mini colander. The origami element comes from the fact that each of these [flat-packed kitchen tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldy) must be folded in order to be used. The folding aspect gives these items a unique and modern look. It also has a functional aspect as all the pieces within the Ori-Kit can be easily cleaned and stored thanks to the fact that they are collapsible after use. The Ori-Kit is made from Teflon and silicone and is able to withstand temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Funding for this set of origami kitchen tools is being sourced via a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-multitools) campaign which will launch shortly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Flat-packed Kitchen Tools:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of more versatile and collapsible kitchen tools that save space and offer unique and modern designs. - **Origami-inspired Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Investigate the creation of origami-inspired products in various industries to provide functional and aesthetically pleasing solutions. - **Crowdfunding for Kitchen Tools:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter to gather funding for the development and production of innovative kitchen tool sets. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchenware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement origami-inspired design principles to create functional and space-saving kitchenware solutions. - **Household Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate flat-packed and collapsible designs into various household goods to provide practical storage solutions. - **Product Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate origami techniques into product design to create unique and adaptable consumer goods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldibox-2.md) - [Collapsible Folding Carrier Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-cup.md) - [Versatile Kitchen Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-multitools.md) - [Multi-Functional Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-kitchen-tools.md) - [Tech-Informed Modular Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rekook.md) - [Flatpack Metal Utensil Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uphold-cutlery.md) - [Pro-Grade Self-Standing Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brio-kitchen-box.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Flat-Packed Sleek Dish Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aurea.md)
